Stop Paying 30% to Feed Someone Else’s Platform

The UK restaurant industry generates over £90 billion annually, yet independent Restaurants are haemorrhaging their already-thin margins to third-party delivery platforms. Just Eat charges 14-25% commission. Deliveroo takes 25-35%. Uber Eats takes up to 30%. On a £30 takeaway order, you could be surrendering £10 in commission — before food cost, labour, and packaging are even considered.

The brutal irony is that many of these customers live within walking distance of your restaurant. They would happily order direct — if you gave them an easy way to do so. A premium restaurant website with integrated direct ordering simply bypasses the middleman and puts that £10 back in your pocket on every single order.

The Three Revenue Pillars of a Restaurant Website

1. Direct Online Ordering (Zero Commission). A custom ordering system for collection and delivery that keeps 100% of revenue. No cover charges, no commission, no dependency on algorithms that bury your listing behind paying competitors. Customers order direct, pay direct, and you pocket every penny.

2. Table Reservation System. Every empty table is wasted revenue. An integrated booking widget allows diners to reserve tables instantly — including mid-week promotional slots that would otherwise go unfilled. No more missed phone calls during service. No more lost bookings because your staff were too busy to answer.

3. Mobile-First Menu Experience. 89% of dining decisions begin on a mobile phone. If your menu is a blurry PDF, you’re losing customers before they even see your food. We build crisp, text-based, filterable menus with dietary icons, allergen information, and food photography that load in under one second on any device.

Restaurant SEO: The Searches That Fill Tables

We target the exact searches that generate bookings and orders:

• “Restaurant near me” — 300,000+ monthly searches, extreme intent
• “[Cuisine] restaurant [city]” — Italian, Indian, Thai, Japanese — each is its own keyword goldmine
• “Best restaurants in [city]” — TripAdvisor alternative, influenced heavily by Google reviews
• “Food delivery [city]” — direct ordering opportunity, bypass the apps
• “Private dining [city]” — premium events with £500-5,000 spend per booking

Every page is architecturally engineered to intercept these searches and convert them into reserved tables and direct orders.
